Development and homeostasis are dependent on rapid cell turnover, achieved by the programmed death and subsequent engulfment and breakdown of cells, a process known as efferocytosis. Defects in efferocytosis have been linked to a wide range of diseases; ongoing research therefore aims to better understand efferocytosis processes so as to uncover new therapeutic targets.
